SAN DIEGO, Calif. — If the USGA wanted to play rough, it can stretch the par-71 South Course at Torrey Pines, site of this week’s U.S. Open, to a massive 7,652 yards. Two of the three par 5s, the 9th and 13th holes, are over 600 yards in length and there is thick, juicy rough surrounding the fairways and the green complexes.
From an equipment perspective, Torrey Pines in June presents challenges because golfers want distance to handle the course’s length, but they need accuracy to avoid the rough and to get approach shots close. They also need a dependable putter.
Here are some images of golf equipment spotted in the practice area this week at Torrey Pines.
